The search for signatures of the QCD critical point is premised on the ability to experimentally uncover a number of effects born out in systems of immense complexity. Some of these predicted signatures involve light nuclei production [1]}, [2]}, enhanced multiplicity fluctuations of produced hadrons [3]}, [4]}, [5]}, the slope of the directed flow [6]}, [7]}, or Hanbury-Brown-Twiss (HBT) interferometry measurements [8]}, and their dependence on the beam energy. Often, the magnitudes of these effects and their interaction with various other experimental signals, as well as the influence of the finite time of the collision or baryon number conservation remain elusive to purely theoretical predictions. In consequence, a clear interpretation of the experimental data will have to be supported by comparisons with results of dynamical simulations of heavy-ion collisions, developed to correctly account for the complex evolution of relevant observables.
